Natural Nutra Mega Magnesium

Our assessment
The evidence shows that Natural Nutra Mega Magnesium contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and muscle function. However, we must be clear that the product name "Mega Magnesium" is misleading based on the data provided — the only ingredient listed is calcium. Our assessment: this product is not what its name implies, and you should not assume it provides significant magnesium. Data on the specific magnesium content is not available [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural support for your skeleton. It works through bone mineralization to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease. Some research also suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. You should also know that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Do not purchase this product if you are seeking a magnesium supplement — the data provided indicates it contains calcium, not magnesium. If you need calcium, check your total daily intake from food and other supplements to avoid exceeding safe levels. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications [NIH ODS].
